Testimonial for Bonnie Rovics
My birth didn’t go as planned—and I’m so incredibly thankful for that.
Bonnie was actually my backup doula. Impossibly, another one of my original doula’s clients gave birth early, while I gave birth late, and… Well, it became the perfect storm. Between downpouring rain, flooding tunnels and crazy traffic, Bonnie still volunteered and made it to us in the hospital.
At first, I was nervous. I’d never met Bonnie before, and here she was attending one of the most vulnerable, sacred experiences of my life. However, I was instantly put at ease the moment she walked in the room. Besides having coached my husband for hours over the phone while battling her way through impossible Boston traffic, she jumped right into action. I was stunned by her professionalism, comforted by her calmness, and so incredibly grateful for her expertise. Even though I gave birth in the hospital, it never became an “us versus them” situation. Bonnie instantly clicked with all the hospital staff in her caring, friendly way, and I really appreciated how she brought everyone together in the delivery room as one team.
Besides being an instinctual leader and a calm, steadying presence, Bonnie also demonstrated unparalleled expertise. Whether it was using Spinning Babies techniques to help Baby descend or that crazy Jedi acupressure technique to instantly relieve a derailing headache during the push phase, she also knew what to do at just the right time. She respected me and my baby’s divine timing, and her strength and encouragement ended up being my rock when I nearly gave up from exhaustion.
If you’re thinking about hiring Bonnie, don’t hesitate. There is so much about birth you can’t predict or control, but with an incredible doula like her as your bedrock, it’s going to be a beautiful experience.
